“…… Before the doctor gave Tony. Donn's advice is to wait until the season is over before considering returning to work. But recently there have been rumors that he is going to take over the team right away. Could it be that Nottingham Forest's poor results have made him unbearable? ”

“…… In fact, I am not optimistic about the veracity of this rumor. If Tony. If Don was a smart man, he wouldn't have chosen to come back at such an awkward time. With three rounds left in the league, the team is doomed to nothing this season. When he comes back, he can't change anything, but he may even let himself be hacked. Tony. Is Don a smart guy? Apparently he's ......"

"I think the strangest thing is not that he went back to work early, but that he went back to work. To be honest, I don't think he's physically fit for the role of manager anymore. Although he has a very successful coaching record, it is the best choice for him so far. With his personality and temper, I'm worried about whether his heart can stand it......"

When rumors of Donn's early return appeared in the media, most people were pessimistic.

Cal. Spike, the anti-Donn vanguard, shouted in his column: "Tony. Don is finished! His heart definitely can't stand the toss of the Premier League! His sharp energy was also consumed by heart disease, and there was not much left! I heard that he was being watched by a nurse? It's the funniest thing I've ever heard this year! Take a look at Houllier's achievements since he returned to Liverpool's managership from his hospital bed...... I think Tony. Don's best destination should be to announce his retirement and then go to Hollywood with his little supermodel girlfriend. It's nothing if he can't make money, his little girlfriend is rich anyway...... Do you think I'm anti-Don again? That's wrong, this time I'm really good for him - well, actually, I'm good for him every time - I don't think anyone who hates him anymore wouldn't want to see him die in the dugout, right? ”

Unlike the Premier League manager, who hoped that Don could overcome a heart attack and come back, the media was surprisingly unanimous in their disapproval of Tony. Dawn.

Some people felt that the timing of his return was not good. Others simply believe that his heart can no longer withstand the stimulation of professional football. Or there are some people who simply think that Tang En is easy to bully now, and they smear him vigorously.

Anyway, for five months, Donn's columns in several newspapers were silent, and he didn't publish a single article. In the past five months, he has not given a single public interview, except for the occasional interview with Pierce. "Tony. Donn is recovering well"" Tony. Don is active in exercising"" Tony. Don is in a good mood"" Tony. Don and his girlfriend Shania go on vacation with Brazil"...... In addition to the innocuous "grapevine", he didn't spit out a single word of counterattack from those comments and reports that criticized him and did not favor him, which is really not in line with Don's character......

It is inevitable that people will give birth to a kind of "Tony. Don was tormented by a heart attack and lost his temper." There are also some tabloids that blow the process of Don's treatment into the sky. Why are you forced to transplant your heart, you don't dare to have any mood swings at all, and the slightest stimulation will lead to a recurrence of heart disease...... In fact, they made it all up, but there are still people who believe it. I have to sigh that the world is so big that no matter how low the IQ record in this world is, someone will break it.

Now hearing that Don is coming back so soon, some media panicked......

Today's weather is fine for the UK, with sunny skies across the country.

The sky is clear and the sun is shining.

The players train on the training ground. The coaches were shouting and the whistles were blaring, and the most die-hard fans were still supporting the team, coming from far and wide to watch the team practice, hoping to get a few autographs from the stars after the training session and if they could take a group photo together. That's even better.

It was a day like no other day in Wilford.

In the administrative building of the training base, Evan. Dogetty and Alan. Adams sat in his office, looking at a man across from him.

After saying hello, the atmosphere seemed to be showing some signs of cooling down.

Or the man laughed first: "What are you doing so seriously?" Allan. You don't think I'm coming back to ask for sin, do you? ”

Allan. Taking advantage of Donn's absence, Adams made the decision to sell Ribery. Don didn't find out until a few months later. He was a little annoyed at the time, but thanks to the doctor's advice, he tried to calm himself down, and then calmed down. Adams didn't really do anything wrong...... The team needs money, and Ribery is currently the most sellable player in the team, not to mention that Ribery himself has been willing to leave for a long time...... This summer's strong twisted melon. Still not sweet......

In fact, when he went to Mallorca in the summer to persuade Ribery, Donn was already prepared for this in his heart. If you don't have money, you can't keep Ribery, this kid is scared of poverty.

It's all in the past, the past is in the past, and you can't afford to have a stiff relationship with a local colleague because of a person who has left the place. So he wasn't going to pull Alan. Adams's collar let him understand how powerful the "hair dryer" is.

Evan laughed first: "Tony, you're kidding again." ”

Instead of meeting with his colleagues and players directly after returning to the club, Donn went to the chairman's office first.

"I'm just here to say to you, I'm back to work. ”

"Something like that. Just make a phone call. ”

Don raised an eyebrow. "Where's that going? It's better to say it in person. ”

"Your body...... Is it really okay? I also read the news that you were coming back from the recent newspaper, and I thought it was a rumor. Evan asked with some concern. Actually, deep down. He desperately wanted Don to come back soon, but out of concern for Donn's safety, he never called to ask Don about the date of his return. Now that Don himself is back, it couldn't be better...... The beautiful words on the face still have to be said.

Don touched his left breast: "Now there is an extra thing here, you can still touch it with your hands." But most of the time I don't feel it. Body...... I watched the last round of the league. ”

Hearing Donn talk about the home defeat to Bolton, Evan looked a little embarrassed, and that game was so embarrassing for the team.

Lose this result for the time being. The team showed no fighting spirit, which really made him, the president of the club who didn't know much about football, unbearable. He was even in the box at the time with Alan. Adams discussed which players would have to be removed from the squad in the summer.

"I'm angry, but there's nothing wrong with my heart!" Don laughed. "I feel like I'm ready to get to work, and I can't even wait!" He rubbed his hands excitedly, just like George who had been dismissed for slapping a soldier in Sicily. Patton—all starved. One who doesn't let him fight will feel like he's dead, and the other who doesn't let him direct the game will feel like he's not alive.

Alan who has not spoken all the time. Adams stood up, turned and picked up an envelope from the table. It was handed to Don.

Don didn't quite understand what this meant, and Alan pointed to the envelope and explained, "Frank. Ribery gave it to me when he left. He asked me to hand it over to you, if you come back. ”

Don looked down at the "Give the head" on the envelope. I pinched it gently, and there was only a thin piece of paper inside.

He slipped his hand into his coat pocket.

"Don't you see?" Alan was a little surprised.

"Not now. Donn shrugged, "It's time for me to get to work." ”

Evan stopped him: "Does the team know you're back today?" ”

Tang En shook his head and smiled a little smugly: "I don't know." I didn't tell anyone. I'm going to give them a big 'surprise'! ”

The sun was shining, and the grass on the training ground gave off a dry fishy smell under the sun's baking. Don stood in the sun. But he didn't feel the warmth at all—he was still in the middle of winter.

The acting manager was distracted, and the players seemed a little absent-minded.

The season is coming to an end, and it is said that after the end of the season, a group of people will be cleaned up, the club needs money, and the individual players have better pursuits. Who would have thought that a team that had been together several times last season to lift the championship trophy would fall apart?

Nottingham Forest is destined to become the brightest meteor in the history of English football. When it appeared twice, the dazzling light illuminated half of the sky, like a falling sun. But it crossed the sky twice and then vanished.

The season isn't over yet. Many of the main players have received invitations from other teams.

As the captain of the team, George. Wood has also been favored by a number of big clubs. But Billy. Woods, his local agent, was apparently not as quick to respond to these matters as he was to commercial endorsement contracts, and he did not respond to transfer offers from any other club.

Such a team, just because it is missing a head coach, has a faint centrifugal force. It's sad.

Chrislak blew the whistle in his mouth: "This is the end of outdoor training, let's go to the tactics class!" ”

A group of people slowly walked towards the tactics classroom with their heads down.

The "tactical lesson" of the next day after each game must be to watch the video of the previous game, the game like yesterday...... Is it still necessary to see the land? Everyone muttered in their hearts.

Thick double curtains were drawn in the tactics classroom. It's pitch black like a movie theater, but it's perfect for watching the big screen.

After the door was opened, a crowd of people swarmed in, followed by the sound of slamming into chairs and screaming, and finally someone remembered to turn on the lights.

As the white light flashed, a voice burst into everyone's ears: "You all lost your souls? The first thing I did when I entered such a dark room was not to turn on the lights, but to rush straight in, what were you thinking? ”

Wait for everyone to react. only to find that there was already a person sitting in the house.

The man sat in a chair next to the computer. Frowning a little impatient. Not the head Tony. Who else could Don be?

There was no sound in the room......

Tang felt strange when he saw that the crowd in front of him suddenly stopped moving. Did you hit a ghost? He also stood still after squeezing in with great difficulty.

"Hey! What are you doing in front of you? Why don't you go? What to do in a jam at the door! Chrislak's unique loud voice sounded at the back of the crowd, and he couldn't squeeze in, so he could only jump and shout in the back.

Don sat in his chair and didn't get up, but just waved his hand in, and a crowd rushed in. Get out of the way.

Only Don didn't move, and when Chris Rac came in, he saw that Don was also the same as Don immediately.

A group of people stood in silence inside the room, with Don alone sitting.

Don didn't speak, just looked at everyone silently.

This is his team......

Then he stood up: "Today I'm here to give you a tactical lesson. All sit down. ”

The players obediently sat down in their chairs. Chris Rac heard Donn say this and tried to put the match disc in his hand into the computer, but was stopped by Donn.

"I don't need that, I still remember that game, and I'm sure you all haven't forgotten it so soon, right?"

I heard Don say that. The hearts of the big guys have sunk to the bottom. It seems that the leader is very dissatisfied with the team's performance and is about to curse. But...... Will his heart be able to withstand such a drastic change in emotion?

Don opened his mouth to persuade him: "Tony, you ......"

Don looked at him: "I watched the whole game live on TV yesterday, and I didn't have any problems with my heart at all. I think it stood the test, so I decided to come back early. Want to know why? He turned his face to look at the players again. "Because I don't think I'll ever see a worse and infuriating game from now on!!"

He raised his voice sharply, causing the people in the venue to tighten.

David. Beckham looked at Don with some concern, for fear that he would not be able to get up in one breath after shouting these words, and he would faint to the ground. But it's okay. Don still stood there steadily, his expression serious.

"Look at the good things you have done...... You lost at home to Bolton! Bolton, guys, you all dare to lose on a team like this! Is there anything else in the world that you can't do? Capture Mars, or land on the moon? ”

It's been five months...... The depression, resentment, and passion that had been suppressed in Donn's heart poured out. The obedient one in front of Nurse Douglas bleated like a good child. Now he has turned into a ferocious wolf, opening his bloody mouth, revealing the fangs and sharp teeth that glow with cold light, and the breath of death erupts from his mouth.

"I know the team is not doing well. I also know that there are a lot of difficulties. I don't have much to say about the Champions Cup being eliminated, in which case a tournament should have been abandoned. Did you know? At the most difficult time, in December last year, the worst I could do was to lose the Champions League and keep the top four...... But look at it now, it's ranked twelfth! The media outside are saying 'Nottingham Forest is gone, Tony. Don won't be able to play.'" Do you think I should be happy and proud of that? Bullshit! I feel a deep shame! You're 'Nottingham Forest', not 'Tony'. Team Donn'! ”

Emotions are already high. The voice should have soared again, but at this point, Don suddenly stopped and took a few deep breaths. After scolding just now, he finally felt the pressure from his heart. Had to take a break to rest.

Seeing him like this, Chrillac stepped forward to support him a little nervously, but was pushed away by Don. He pressed his hands on the table and stood alone. "No big deal. Lao Tzu is the heart of nuclear power here! He pointed to his chest. Said viciously to Chrislak.

'I've always looked down on Grant and his Chelsea, we've always won against Chelsea. So much so that every time we play each other, I say we have a psychological advantage. But in the past five months, I have admired Grant Chelsea very much. Do you know why? It was also a halfway point of the league that changed coaches, and they finally reached the Champions Cup final! And what about you! ”

"No Champions Cup, no Confederations Cup, nothing next season! We're like freshly upgraded horses! Anyone tired of taking too many championships? It just so happens that from next season we can start all over again as if we didn't win any championships! But I don't want to hide anything from you, the failure of the results will bring financial hardship, and we all have to pay for the failure this season! Yes, all of us, even me. Why should I come back at this time, I just want to say that the team's current terrible situation has nothing to do with me and I am responsible for it. But! He raised his voice again. Pointing to the person in front of him, he said.

"None of you can run! Atonement is now on! I don't expect to finish sixth in the league at the end of the game, our opponents are not fools. But I don't want to see you guys in that disgusting way against Bolton Wanderers again! What did Nottingham Forest rely on to rule Europe in the past two years? In terms of strength, it is not for nothing that there are people who are as strong as us or even stronger than us. We rely on that spirit and momentum! This is the only one of a kind, and it belongs only to us at Nottingham Forest! There are so many teams in Europe, but as long as you mention 'don't admit defeat', it's us Nottingham Forest! We can lose, but we can't raise our hands and surrender! I'm proud and proud of that. That's our flag, and I don't want you to lose it. Even if you lose it, you're going to pick it up for me from today! Plug it in here again! He gestured to his feet.

Tang En scolded so much in one breath that he was finally too tired to do it. However, he still straightened his waist and waved his hand vigorously: "This is the end of the tactics class, disband!" ”

No one moved, and he walked straight out on his own.

Tang chased him out, he was afraid that Tang En would fall to the ground as soon as he went out. The scene of the final moments of the game against Newcastle still comes back to me from time to time. When he knelt next to Don and watched him convulse all over, he really thought that this guy who was not afraid of heaven and earth was about to die. No matter how long it takes, I can only think about it.

"Tony!"

Don walked so fast that Don had to run to chase after him, and by the time he caught up, he was already a little out of breath.

Donn paused and looked back at him. He smiled at him, "You look more than my heart." It's been a hard time for you for the past five months. ”

Don shook his head.

"When are you going to move back?" For the past five months, Donn has been living in the fancy home that Shania bought at the lace market, avoiding the harassment of most reporters. At 13 Bled Garden Street, Don was cleaning and taking care of it all the time.

"Tomorrow...... What, miss me? Don grinned and joked about Don.

Don's face was expressionless. Eight Winds didn't move to make Don's joke come to naught. He pouted, "I'll come back with Shania tomorrow." If you have free time in the evening, you can have a meal together and be at home. I'll have to reintroduce Shania to you. ”

"When are you going to get married?" Don asked. He already knew about Don and Shania going back to Brazil to get engaged.

"Just this summer. ”

"It's early!" Don was a little surprised.

"Is forty too early to get married?" Don smiled, "Be my best man then, Don." The wedding was in Brazil, and my parents were also taken away. I'm doing this...... Son, haven't they been blessed with anything...... Even if it's a trip abroad. ”

The two of them chatted as they walked out. No one mentions a bunch of troubles about the team. Just chatting about the trivia after five months of separation. The house is cleaned twice a week, and Toto is almost becoming Tang's pet......

They walked all the way to the office door, and when Tang En was about to push the door in, Tang suddenly remembered something: "That's right." Chen Jian visited me once in March. He wanted to thank you, but he was afraid to see you, so he dragged it out until he was gone. He thanked you for scolding him that day, so he persevered......"

Donn interrupted him, "I almost forgot about him...... He persevered? ”

Don nodded: "Greenwood is picking fault with him every day, according to your wishes, magnifying and magnifying all his shortcomings. Use Wood's training plan to meticulously train him and correct his shortcomings. It's even harsher than before. But he persevered. When he said this, Tang's expression was very serious. "But because you're sick. The team has a terrible record, the club is facing a whole bunch of problems, and no one cares about him as a young player from the commercial draft. So after the one-year deadline was up, he returned to China. ”

Hearing Don say this, Don was silent for a while.

Then he let go of his hand on the doorknob, turned to Don and said, "Go, come with me on a trip to North Wilford." ”
